Post 15: Dan Pink, To Sell Is Human

Activities

(1)  Reflect on some of the following items...

Here is my experience with the book:
JAN. 2013:  I rejected its suggestions at first
APRIL 2013:  I picked up the book again and then I became hooked.  I really didn't want to admit that I needed to learn the skill of selling.   His point about "we are all in sales" and that many of us spend 40% of our time in cajoling and non-selling persuasion ... to move people to part with time and attention... that's compelling.
